The 50% rule for weight loss refers to focusing on smaller goals incrementally by achieving 50% of your long-term goal initially. This strategy helps maintain motivation by creating manageable short-term successes, which build confidence and consistency.

Examples include cinema tickets, spa treatments, new clothing, fitness equipment, or experiences such as a weekend getaway or photoshoot.
